I have been a League of American Cyclists member for several years. I'm also a League Certified Instructor. I have tried to be active in local cycling advocacy endeavors for the last decade.

As a cyclist.I know how intimidating the streets can be. I also know people that would love to cycle, but don't because they're not comfortable mixing it up on streets designed to move cars. The research clearly shows there's plenty of pent-up desire to ride, if only those potential riders perceived their pathway to be safer.

May is National Bike Month, sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists. and next week is the League's official Bike To Work Week. I hope this is not seen as a crass attempt to cash in on Bike to Work Week, but we're putting our Dolliver trunk bag on sale to celebrate Bike to Work Week. Dollivers will be 20% off from May 11-15. That's $60! We hope Ironweed customers that buy the Dolliver take the savings and put it towards a League membership - if they're not already a member. Supplies are limited and this is only the second sale we've every had, so now's your chance!
